HONORING CARLA BROWN

______

HON. TROY A. CARTER

of louisiana

in the house of representatives

Friday, August 27, 2021

Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a member of the Baton Rouge community.

Nurse Carla Brown has been going door to door in her ``clinic on wheels,''--her car--providing COVID vaccinations.

As of now, she and her partners have vaccinated over 2,000 people.

To Mrs. Brown, this fight is personal.

Her husband David died from COVID-19 after weeks on a ventilator.

He was a two-time cancer survivor. He survived a gunshot wound to the face.

But COVID was what took his life.

Since then, Nurse Brown has turned her grief into action, using her time off to provide vaccination house calls to underserved communities like North Baton Rouge.

Louisiana has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, so her work is truly saving lives.

Mrs. Brown tells people, ``If there were a vaccine when my David was alive, he would be here.''

I thank Carla Brown for her service to our community.

To all Americans, please hear this brave nurse's message: Get vaccinated.
